The Thurles venue was confirmed today to host the game between the Cats and the Shannonsiders on Saturday 9 September
In a change this year from the traditional evening throw-in, the throw-in time for Kilkenny and Limerick is 3pm.
The curtain-raiser will be the ‘B’ final battle between Kerry and Wicklow.
Limerick will be chasing their sixth title over at this level and their second in three years after they blitzed Wexford in the 2015 decider.
Kilkenny can go top of the roll of honour on their own if they win their 12th crown with their most recent victory coming back in 2008.
These counties faced off in the corresponding minor final in 2014 with Kilkenny triumphing by 2-17 to 0-19.
